I have the honour of running the London Marathon 2027 for The Positivitree.This incredible charity supports and empowers parent carers of children with additional needs, disabilities, or long-term health conditions.

My Personal Journey

I have been a parent carer to my 18-year-old son, Dylan, since I was twenty. I know firsthand that caring for a child with complex needs can feel incredibly isolating and overwhelming.

For the last five years, I have also served as a trustee for the charity. Together, we ensure parent carers feel heard, valued, and empowered while building family resilience.
